The concert ended with a bang of course. By the end of the night the boys were sweaty, but not exhausted. They still had adrenaline pumping through their veins from the rush of performing. When we got back in the bus they were everything but tired. They were all walking around the bus like they hadn’t just done a 3 hour concert and it was hilarious. I knew that this was gonna be a great tour.
We were stopped at a random town in the middle of the states and we checked into a hotel because we were staying there for three days. Luke and I were in a room together because the only people who knew about our contract were the boys and Kate, their management honestly believed that wee were together and gave us our own hotel room
"So I’ll take the couch?" Luke asked awkwardly
"I mean I don’t think we’ll both fit on this bed so yeah," I replied pointing at our king sized bed
He just rolled his eyes
I threw him a blanket and a pillow and he situated himself on the couch which was almost half the size of his 6ft frame. I couldn’t help but feel bad
"You’re a fucking giant Lucas just get in here and stay on your side," I sighed scooting over to give him room
"Really?" He asked
I nodded watching him take his shirt off as he climbed in next to me
"Night Hemmings," I said
"Good night," he smiled cuddling into the blankets
I woke up first and decided to get ready so I headed to the bathroom to take a shower
Today was a busy day… For them at least. I was just along for the ride which I had no problem with. They had multiple interviews to do at the venue and then a concert.
The first interview was filmed in their dressing room which I unknowingly walked into because Calum had told me it was going to be done in the empty seats of the music hall. I entered the room checking my phone for twitter notifications when I felt lights being pointed at me. I looked up wide eyed to find a gigantic camera and six pairs of eyes staring right at me
“Holy shit I’m so sorry,” I blurted out
“Wait I’m not supposed to swear on camera hold on can you just cut that part out?” I asked awkwardly
The four boys started bursting out laughing because they’d never seen me this flustered before and I was so close to giving them the finger but I knew I couldn’t because of the camera
“Josie Castano ladies and gentlemen!” Michael announced on the mic
“Sorry I didn’t know the interview was here,” I apologized about to turn to exit
“Wait wait wait! Why don’t you stay for the interview?” The interviewer asked smiling
“Oh no it’s okay it’s 5sauce’s interview not mine,” I said
“Nonsense Jojo! Come down here!” Ashton said forcing me to join them
Since the couch was filled, I sat next to Luke on the arm of the couch and he casually placed his hand around my waist right above my bum. He knew that we had to keep playing boyfriend and girlfriend on camera so of course the cheeky little bastard would try and play this game on me
“So what’s it like being one of the biggest bands in the world?” The interviewer asked
“It’s surreal really to have that many fans supporting you through everything and the music man the music is our entire dream,” Ashton replied
“And Josie if you don’t mind answering a few questions for us while we have you here. What’s it like being with the lead singer of one of the biggest bands in the world?” The interviewer asked
“Yeah Jojo what is it like?” Luke asked smiling at me as he lowered his hand closer to my bum. I placed my hand on the back of his neck so the cameras wouldn’t see and pinched it harshly hoping to leave a mark on it while Luke tried his best to hide his reaction from the camera
“Well Luke’s something else alright. When you’re with him you totally forget about his career. It’s the same with the rest of the guys too. They’re all really just 4 dorks who love making music together,” I answered genuinely
“Hey hey hey we are not dorks,” Calum replied pretending to be hurt
The rest of the interview went well. I was only asked a few more questions but it was still all about the band which I was happy about. As soon as the cameras went off and the interviewer left the room I did not hesitate to slap Luke on the back of the head
“You cheeky little bastard!” I yelled swiping his hand off my ass
“Hey I saw the opportunity and I took it,” Luke said clearly proud of himself
The next interview began and I was certain that I was out of sight so I wouldn’t have to get dragged into it again. I knew for sure that they were doing it on stage so I stayed backstage and spoke to some of the crew like I usually did before their show. I was speaking to one of the make up artists when I heard my name being called on the speakers
“Josie Castano I repeat Josie Castano please report to the stage,” Michael’s voice rang through the mic. I let out a loud groan before peeking my head through the curtains of the stage to see what was going on
“We see you!” Ashton yelled pointing at me
I walked onto the interview set to find the camera on me once again. All four of the guys looked to their right to watch me walk on when I heard some muttering going on
“What’s this?” Calum asked pointing at the back of Luke’s neck which was clearly shown on camera now
“Oh Josie Castano is a feisty one isn’t she?” The interviewer asked pointing on the red mark on Luke’s neck that I left after I pinched him
“No no no no no I can explain that,” I said blushing
“Yup yeah she is definitely a feisty one,” Luke cut in putting his arm around me and covering my mouth. I rolled my eyes while leaning on Luke casually as the interview went by.
The exposure that our relationship got nearly tripled from the amount of interviews that the boys’ included me in. I don’t think they even knew that they were actually doing that, but it was still fun regardless. More people knew about us and even though the amount of shippers we had increased, the amount of haters we had also increased. In the beginning of our relationship, I tried my best to not think about the haters, but now it was getting a bit overwhelming with hate coming from all sides of the fandoms. Luke was always there though whenever a rude comment hit me really hard. He was my rock and he really did help me through the thick and thin.
"I wonder if people say this is a publicity stunt because they really do believe it is or they just don’t like me," I said scrolling through all my comments on my latest selfie with Luke. We were both sitting in the back lounge area of the tour bus as we were headed to another town.
"Well it is a publicity stunt," Luke shrugged seeming annoyed with the topic
"What’s wrong?" I asked. He really let me in these past few months. I could see right through this boy and I could tell something was up
"Nothing," he sighed returning his attention to his phone
"Seriously Luke what’s up?" I urged him facing towards him on the couch
"I just-" he took in a deep breath
"What happens to us after the three months is up? Are we just over and we never speak to each other again?" He asked finally looking up at me
"Of course not. I could never just forget about you Luke. We just break up and our public relationship is over but we’ll still be friends it’ll be okay," I reassured him hoping that was what he wanted to hear
"But what if I don’t want to break up?"
